This is a Hiroshi Yoshida woodblock print entitled “BAMBOO WOOD” (1939). It’s part of a group of prints I inherited from my stepmother who brought them back from Japan in the 1950’s. She worked for the U. Army in Japan in the late 40’s and early 50’s. The print bears the Yoshida pencil signature and print title. It also has the Jizuri mark indicating it was self-printed by Yoshida in the 1940’s. It has never been framed and is in good condition. Please be sure view all photos. Army in Tokyo in 1950. It consists of the front and back of a single fragile page. There are photos of those pages attached where you will see “Bamboo GROVE” at number 21 but this was a misnomer/mis-type and it is actually “Bambo Wood”. As far as I can determine there is no “Bamboo Grove” print by Hiroshi Yoshida.
